The Butts Primary School is looking for hard-working, passionate and dedicated adults to work alongside our friendly and supportive team.

- has high expectations for themselves and their pupils;
- is a team player, able to inspire and work in partnership with staff, parents and pupils.
Our Learning Support Assistants work in close partnership with class teachers and our Inclusion Leader (SENDCo) to promote learning for all children. Some experience of working on intervention programmes with individuals and small groups of children would be of benefit.
The hours of work are Monday to Friday 8.30am to 3.15 (to include Lunchtime Supervisor duties). This is initially a fixed term position until December 2024 but there may be an opportunity for a permanent position for the right candidate.
Applicants should have:

- NVQ Level 2 or equivalent in Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools
